DNA does not prevent you setting a specific value.  It will only 
generate a value if you omit the attribute or set it to the magic value 
that you configured.  If you set the magic value in console, it will be 
overwritten with the DNA generated value.  I don't recall if Console 
considers the uidNumber and gidNumber fields to be mandatory or not (the 
schema does, but DNA runs before the schema check occurs on the server 
side).  The magic value can be used if Console requires a value to be set.

The above paragraph should answer all of these questions.
